I’ve seen you mention this before, and I think I recall you starting off that prior post with something along the lines of, “As I assume you know …” and then you went on to explain that Auf dem Hölzchen and Ober Schäfershaus are official place-names in Krettnacher Altenberg. I’m here to assert that almost nobody knows this, until they’re told, hence making it great information to include somewhere on the bottle, if possible. Additional information re: site characteristics would be additionally fantastic!

@Lars_Carlberg is there a place where we can find a comprehensive list of the wines produced as well as what defines them and their differences?

Thanks again. I don’t recall ever assuming that. As you said, “almost nobody knows this.” We don’t want to have a zillion back labels. But perhaps we will make a map of our vineyards someday.

I have a question about the wines from Euchariusberg vs the ones from Altenburg or Ober Schaferhaus. The wines from Euchariusberg whether Kabinett or Spatlese always seem to be feinherb or traditional sweetness levels. But all the examples I’ve seen from Altenburg and Ober Schaferhaus are trockens, again, regardless of Kabinett or Spatlese.
Is that due to differences in the sites themselves (elevation, soil, how completely the wines ferment, etc) or a stylistic preference by the Webers that certain sites express themselves better in sweet or dry interpretations?

Another great question, Bill. For the most part, it’s a stylistic preference by the Webers.

Thanks. I’m starting to build a deep enough collection of their wines that I can sometimes compare a particular wine across a few vintages, so when I see trends like this, I’m always curious. I really appreciate all the info you share since it helps me appreciate and understand the wines more.

Second year in a row that Onkel Peter has been designated as a Kabinet. Really looking forward to opening one up tomorrow. Loved them as Spatlese…

The 2016 Onkel Peter was also designated as a Kabinett feinherb. I hope you like the 2024.
More shipments, including bottles of 2024 Meyer Nepal, are on the way.
